Would you like to ride in my new powered paraglider

We could float above the trees together you and I

The world's a nicer place from my paraglider

Everyone seems to wear a nicer face and

We can sing a song and sail along

The silver sky for we can fly

Up, up and away you and I

Lifted from the song
Up, Up and Away by
The 5th Dimension
